Steven Caldicott Wilson was a powerful, polished and moving Evangelist.

The soloists were well matched in the duets, and consistently moving in their solo contributions.

The part of Nicolas was sung with steadiness and sensitivity by the tenor Steven Caldicott Wilson, who was impassioned without ever straining, and calm in his death scene.
